I resisted the temptation to sleep in this morning, sleeping felt really good and nice and snuggly but I forced myself awake against every fibre in my body.
Going to be warm one as well today, I wonder if I should treat myself but umming and ahhing about whether or not it’ll be wasted money to buy it.
Absolutely treat yourself!
Brought to you by “mild hedonism”.
The the only couple of things stopping me is if it’s any good to use it solo and I have to drive to keysborough to pick it up.
Unicorn bell basket snack shopping mobile strikes again:
5L goon, 4 pies, chips and dip. Is there nothing it can’t do.
This is great, who says you need a car
It can bring back goon… BUT CAN IT BRING BACK SEAGOON?
We gotta get @Duenan onto this - he’s good at finding treasure.
I’m so fucking jealous of that bell.
Oh, Seagoon
It hurts to Sea you Gone
We hope you are back with us soon
A little Negative Nancy (sorry to any Nancys that may be reading this)
Assignment that was almost seven days overdue is done and submitted. I have no idea where the time went or what I have been doing. All I remember is the stressing.
Two more due end of this week. At least one of them is more or less half done. I’m just worried I won’t finish them in time.
I will try my best and use this as a learning experience. I will use myself as an example for my Future Students of What Not To Do.
Then I will be done with uni, climb the Harbour Bridge, and transform into HighExperience2060.
Well done!!! You’re nailing it!
Far out. I was wondering where my cat’s treats were if they’d been delivered and looked back on the security camera. Some dero with alcohol in his hand had come right up to my doorstep to steal my parcel in broad daylight.
So now not only does my cat not have her treats this sketchy guy now has my personal details (potentially including my number or email) and knows a woman lives here. Plus any attempts at identity theft that may follow.
That also might explain another parcel I haven’t received.
Fuck this suburb and fuck these people. Scumbags are just multiplying.
I looked into a parcel locker ages ago but have been putting out fires and didn’t get to it.
Nah, you’re spiralling a bit
What happened was derro realised they were cat treats and not an iphone, swore and threw it all in a bush
I hope so. But even just one of my neighbours finding that discarded personal information would be very bad for me. I don’t want to go into it all. Living here has had a long “rich” history and has left me with legitimate ptsd triggers.
Plus I rely heavily on delivery now so if all my shit is getting stolen that’s a problem
Seeing as you’ve got him on camera, could you file a police report?
Hugs.
I’ve already called and the response was lacklustre. I’m waiting for a link to submit the video but expect nothing to happen.
Also I now have to make arrangements for help to get everything in person, lock my letterbox and set up a parcel locker.
Oh Goonie - I looked but I still cannot Sea ye
In the Daily Melbourne Thread on Lemmy
I hurt all over so badly I cannot sleep. Ow my everything
I have heard from her this morning. I am hoping we have some movement getting her back online today.
🙌🙌🙌🥰🥰🥰😘😘. (You responded to the wrong comment but that’s okay I love you and the work you do)
Sigh It was meant to be in response to @melbaboutown but I guess you figured that. I haven’t heard again, so no updates from this end.
It’s frustrating to know I could get her online in 2 minutes flat if I were there, but that option is not available. It’s often the way with remote tech support.
New glasses!!!
I knew mine were scratched, but holy shit I can finally see clearly
Johnny Nash says it all
I can’t believe how I’ve been dealing with scratched glasses for so long.
I found that out too when I got my first pair of glasses about 5 years ago. Took me forever to realise that they were scratched and I was not in need of a new prescription.
Woke up at 5am. All the alcohol has messed with my body clock a bit I think.
Got a small sniffle and I hope it’s just allergies.
Conditions are prime for ticket inspectors today. I haven’t seen any yet but I bet they are lurking in the shadows just waiting to attack
Yesterday evening, my partner and I were waiting at the tram stop with his dad, and I was complaining about the ticket inspectors. I went on about how they target students and non-white passengers, how they’re failed police officers, blah blah blah. I the looked over past them to the rest of the people at the stop, and realised there were four ticket inspectors there waiting too.
I would have felt embarrassed except they’re shit and I was right haha
What does one have at a Royal Barbie? Angus beef snags on artisan bread? All the salads? Crownies?
Salmon.
Fairy Bread!
Knives and forks to eat that with.
Cursed comment

Someone will need to pop down to the servo to get the ice for the esky. The good edible ice not the sewer ice.
King size anything I think. Maybe Queen of Puddings for dessert (basically a Floating Island).
Probably expensive seafood and white wine too. Oh and people wearing a lot of white linen and playing bocce. Is this related to something I haven’t heard about because I don’t watch/read the news?
The Royals are currently attending a community bbq. A meat and greet.
High quality sausage with both onions and sauce underneath
I was wondering if anyone here has had experience with Independent Living options/renting through the NDIS and wouldn’t mind talking about it?
Group homes and supported living are not appropriate for me, I prefer to stay as independent as possible and choose my own support workers and so I’m very wary about what I’d be getting into. Hence ILO.
But my current housing is substandard and dangerous and trying to transfer out is just not likely to happen.
NDIS is just a government programme that funds people with disabilities. Don’t think of it as a company or single entity. There are many providers that work within the framework of the NDIS, and your experience within the program will depend 100% on the provider(s) you work with. The bad reputation the programme has is because there are many cowboys and awful operators in there. The government is trying to clean it up, though.
I don’t know how it works first-hand, but people using the scheme generally have someone handling their plan and being their advocate. I have a friend who fulfils this role for her daughter, and it’s basically a part-time job to do it yourself. Most people pay someone to manage their plans.
I’m sorry that I don’t have anything specific to suggest, but NDIS is overall a thing that is good. Don’t be swayed by the bad press thrown at it any more than you’d blame Medicare if you had a bad doctor experience. The programme is expensive, and so of course there are lots of people who want to get rid of it.
We’re probably too small a group. I think there’s an /r/NDIS which might have a more experienced audience.
Thanks. I just tended to keep my personal info more to myself in the Other Place :/
Always a bit of interesting one when you hear of the death of somebody you dislike
A former bully colleague died earlier this year. Massive stroke. The feelings it evoked in me were weird. She had ‘retired’ 10 years earlier and I didn’t realise how much of it I still held onto.
I wonder if they’ll let us wear shorts in the office…
I don’t think I’m allowed to wear shorts here at work but we’ve got air conditioning.
I’ve worn shorts to work before. In a mixed office women wear skirts of various lengths and styles.
It’s only fair I can show my gams when it’s warm 😁
My last and current office were both fine with it, pretty common for guys to wear shorts on hot days
In a few weeks, I’ll be staying at a hotel with a buffet breakfast included in the stay price. This hotel doesn’t come cheap, so I feel it’s my duty to squeeze every bit of value out of the price.
Is it wrong if I take a few items away from the buffet for later enjoyment? I won’t be obvious about it - the take away items will be hidden in a tote bag I’ll bring in with me. Easy things to take away - some pastries, fruit, not hot food. I’ve never done this before, but planning how to get away with it has been exciting.
I ‘stole’ a croissant once from a buffet at a 5 star in Indo.
Then the next day stole a spring roll.
I self flagellated for weeks after that.
You paid for it so take it.
When I used to travel for work, I’d grab fruit from the breakfast buffet to take with me for the day. Bananas, kiwis apples …whatever whatever wasn’t cut was fair game
I reckon you wouldn’t be the first person to over load their plate and then decide to take some for Ron.
